IN DREAMLAND, by VIRGINIA ABEL First Line: Some fine sunny day Last Line: On a bright shooting star. Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | |||
Some fine sunny day In warm summer weather, We'll take a joy-ride Upon a gay feather. We'll sail to the clouds That are misty and white, And there we will stay For a day and a night. We'll chase the Great Bear Down the white Milky Way; Then have a good time Just as long as we stay. We'll dance all about Like a nice old skipper And take a good drink From out the Big Dipper. There's nothing within Save rain water pure. It will not harm us; Of that I'm quite sure. We'll pick a few stars -- Golden daisies in bloom, And try to shake hands With the Man in the Moon. We'll find the North star, Always steadfast and true, And throw her a kiss: That is what we will do. We'll coast on the rainbow, Laugh long at the sun, And if it should thunder, Start home on the run. If we get quite tired (I know that it's far), We will thumb a ride home On a bright shooting star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
